I would have said PS2, but after reading what kidcool189 said, I'm going to go with PS3!

First time buyer as in they've never owned a video game system in their life?

If they are a kid... I don't know. PS2 or Wii I guess. The PS3 and 360 don't have alot of kid appropriate games.

If they are an adult, i'd say the Wii. The controls are easy and the games are fun. I totally believe in taking baby steps and the Wii is pretty easy to handle but you can still get joy from. Plus, Virtual Console has ALOT of great older games that I feel any gamer should be forced to play in order to be well rounded as a gamer.

360. It's cheap, and offers everything but a bit more of what the others offer.

for a first time buyer. i would say to get a 360 arcade. $200 and good games, you cant go wrong. i myself own a ps3 and a wii and am really happy with the ps3 purchase but that might be a little expensive for a first console. especially if you dont have any other HD compatable devices in order to use the thing

The best route to go would be the 60GB PS3 if you could find one for a decent price in good shape. PS1, PS2 and the current generation in one box, can't beat that.
